Bloom
Twelve interdisciplinary artists tackle life, death, and the messy-in-between.
Life imitates art, right? See you there?

Saturday, August 16th, at the Station in Brisbane.

Bloom Art Exhibition, presented by Poem Avenue, will feature twelve local East Coast artists from different disciplines of expression. Each individual will share a unique story about how identity and nature connect to the processes of life. They will translate their feelings and observations into creative work, exploring topics such as death, rebirth, and the messy in-between. This exhibition will serve as a reminder that endings can be beautiful, the process can be demanding, and beginnings are just around the corner. Much like a flower, a sunset, a long winter, or a full circle rainbow; they come to an end, but they will always bloom again.
